He is best known as Bob Marley's art director and is responsible for many of the iconic designs associated with the reggae movement in the 1970s and 1980s.
After returning to Jamaica, he became the art director for the Jamaica Daily News from 1973 to 1974.[4][3] In 1974, Garrick became the art director for the record label Tuff Gong, creating artwork for Bob Marley and the Wailers.[3][7] His first album cover art for Rastaman Vibration was ranked number 22 in Billboard's 2023 list of 100 best album covers of all time. [8] Other Marley album covers designed by Garrick include Exodus, Uprising, and the posthumously released Confrontation.[7] As Marley's art director, Garrick helped to shape the visual representation of the reggae movement, with his art embodying the essence of the genre. Garrick designed the stage backdrops and lighting for Marley's concert tours and for the Reggae Sunsplash festival for much of the 1980s.[4][9][3] During his career, Garrick also contributed artwork for Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, Jimmy Cliff, Burning Spear, Steel Pulse, and many others.[4][7]
In 1986, Garrick co-founded the Bob Marley Museum in Kingston and served as its executive director.[10][11] He was the author of A Rasta's Pilgrimage: Ethiopian Faces and Places (1999),[1][12] and co-producer of the 1992 film Time Will Tell, which featured taped interviews from Bob Marley.[7]
